Hello all, I'm new to the Forums. My name is John. I just recently bought a 55 gallon tank that I plan on doing a planted tropical tank. I haven't had an aquarium in about 8 years, prior to that I had several... 2.5, 10, 20, 29 & 30 gallon that I maintained for about several years, probably 10 total. Most of my experience has been with Cichlids from the Americas, the basic small tropicals and fancy goldfish, as we also had a good sized goldfish pond. I've done a small amount of breeding, mostly Firemouths & goldfish. I don't have much experience with live plants, other then pond plants, so I've been doing a ton of research and will probably have some questions as I move forward with my tank.
